Cyfiawnder gweinyddol yng Nghymru a Phersbectifau Cymharol 2015
Cynhadledd a gynhaliwyd ym Mhrifysgol Bangor a'i threfnu mewn cydweithrediad â Llywodraeth Cymru a Sefydliad Cyfiawnder Gweinyddol y DU.
Dadleuodd yr Arglwydd Denning fod gwneud cyfiawnder rhwng unigolion a'r weinyddiaeth mor bwysig â gwneud cyfiawnder rhwng unigolion eu hunain. Gwneud cyfiawnder rhwng unigolion a'r weinyddiaeth yw maes cyfiawnder gweinyddol ac ni ddylid anwybyddu ei bwysigrwydd, yn enwedig o fewn gwlad fel Cymru gyda diwylliant sector gwladwriaeth a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus pwysig. Mae cyfiawnder gweinyddol yn agwedd ar gysyniad ehangach o gyfiawnder cymdeithasol ac yn dweud llawer wrthym am sut y mae'r wladwriaeth yn gweld ei pherthynas â'i dinasyddion. Cyfiawnder gweinyddol hefyd yw'r agwedd gyntaf ar bolisi a gweinyddu cyfiawnder i gael ei ddatganoli i raddau helaeth i Gymru.
Roedd y gynhadledd hon yn cefnogi UKAJI ac yn archwilio'n benodol rhai gweithdrefnau gwneud penderfyniadau gweinyddol allweddol a dulliau adfer sy'n gweithredu yng Nghymru ochr yn ochr â phrofiad cymharol o awdurdodaethau eraill y DU, ac o awdurdodaethau Ewropeaidd a rhyngwladol. Ymhlith y pynciau oedd: gwneud penderfyniadau da yn y lle cyntaf ar draws wahanol gyrff yn y sector cyhoeddus, a rolau gwahanol dribiwnlysoedd, llysoedd gweinyddol, ombwdsmyn a chomisiynwyr gwasanaethau cyhoeddus.
